MLA ’19 Restaurant Guide Welcome to Chicago! Whether this is your first or fifteenth time in Chicago, there is always some place new to try. We might even go out on a limb and say Chicago has the best selection of restaurants in the world. You choose the type of cuisine, and we’d bet Chicago has a restaurant that will fit the bill. The Restaurant Guide is organized by name, cost, cuisine, and location. For recent reviews and opening hours, we recommend you check out Yelp (www.yelp.com) or TripAdvisor (www.tripadvisor. com). The friendly folks at the Hospitality Booth should also be able to point you in the right direction! For those of you wanting to stick close to the meeting hotel, you can find many estaurantsr in the Loop or Near North side that are walkable. Even more walkable is the Illinois Center, accesible via the Bronze Level of the Hyatt Regency Chicago. You won’t even have to go outside!
